Sean Caulfield: The Flood

The 2016 Manning Hall Commission features a new site-specific installation by Edmonton artist Sean Caulfield entitled "The Flood". Taking the form of a large-scale mural, the work is made of woodblock panels that were hand carved by the artist. Typically utilized in the printmaking process, the relief work of the woodblock panels is presented as an artwork in itself, demonstrating the tactile qualities of this traditional technique.
